Instructions

  1. Chop the lettuces and wash them well to remove any dirt or grit. Spin in a salad spinner to remove excess water and get the lettuce nice and crispy.   
  2. Slice the fennel, red onion, and strawberries, then sprinkle over the top of the lettuce in a serving bowl. Top with candied walnuts and crumbled goat cheese.  Keep chilled until ready to serve.  
  3. In a food processor or blender, pulse the strawberries until pureed. Add all remaining vinaigrette ingredients and pulse again until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing is best used the same day, but can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
